It is often said that a large number of our population does not drink milk tea made from milk powder in the morning. This shows that he is addicted to milk powder. But like our ancestors, many people in rural areas still drink a cup of cow's milk in the morning. Or a cup of green porridge. Now the price of milk powder has risen sharply due to the dollar crisis. A 400 gram packet of milk powder costs more than a thousand rupees. A separate war should be waged to get that amount of milk powder. There is no going down unless prices continue to rise. But it is a common sight to see our people in debt or in shops and supermarkets looking for milk powder coming from abroad. But medical experts have not been saying since yesterday that milk powder has an allergy instead of a cure and that it is addictive. The song "Sinhala children are killed by giving milk to the country because there is no milk" was sung by AMU. Raj. Sung in the 1940s. According to doctors, the consumption of milk powder has led to an increase in the number of non-communicable diseases today.
Consumption of highly nutritious beverages is not new to us in Sri Lanka. The farmers of the ancient farming society went to the paddy field in the early morning to drink one cup of Kolakanda clay. Then, until lunch, the farmer got the energy he needed from raw rice, coconut milk, and leafy greens with medicinal leaves. It is not difficult to find plants and plants in our country that are rich in natural resources. These drinks are able to give the body the energy it needs not only in the morning but at any time of the day.
Medicinal properties of these drinks are also very high as they are associated with plants such as Nelli, Rasakinda, Belimal, Ranawara Mal, Polpala and Iramusu. As a result, people in those days were less likely to suffer from diseases such as diabetes and heart disease that are prevalent today. However, with the introduction of English tea and coffee during the colonial period, the consumption of these beverages gradually declined. Later, their use was rarely seen in rural areas. But in the recent past, the demand for herbs in urban society has increased somewhat, but home remedies have not been developed. Consider the properties of some of the drinks we have used since ancient times.
